As your Saint Paul emergency dentist, our treatment team at Highgrove Dental Care sees dental emergencies regularly. From knocked-out teeth and painful sports injuries to internal dental infections, we have seen it all.

If you’re wondering whether your condition is a real emergency, the best thing to do is call our dental office right away. Because we have years of experience treating dental emergencies in Saint Paul, we can talk through your injury with you and help you assess the damage over the phone. Your dentist is always the best person to recommend a course of treatment for a compromised tooth, so don’t hesitate to reach out if you’re unsure about what to do next.

Examples of Dental Emergencies

Most urgent dental injuries tend to fall into one of several categories: 1) damage to a natural tooth that’s still in the mouth, 2) damage to a dental restoration or 3) an injury that forced an entire tooth or teeth outside of the mouth.

Examples of such common emergencies include:

Fractured teeth

Bleeding teeth

A broken jaw

A knocked-out tooth

Chipped or cracked teeth

Numbness, pain, or swelling around a tooth or near the jaw

Cracked crowns, lost fillings, or broken dentures or bridges

Even if your dental emergency is not listed above, if you’re experiencing pain, bleeding, or sensitivity as the result of facial trauma or dental injury, it could be an emergency. To get the opinion of your trusted Saint Paul dentist, don’t hesitate to call us at (651) 427-3118.
